'''<code>MultiBlend</code>''' is a [[shader]] found in newer versions of Source ([[Alien Swarm (engine branch)|Alien Swarm]] and [[Dota 2]]). It allows for blending on [[displacement]] surfaces using up to four different materials.

As opposed to most other shaders, the MultiBlend shader seems to read [[VMT]] files instead of [[VTF]] files.

{{note|Although present in the Alien Swarm version of Source, this shader does not seem to fully work and renders fullbright in-game.}}
{{note|This shader '''only''' works on displacements.}}

==Example==

 MultiBlend
 {
 	[[$basetexture]] nature/grass_00c
 	[[$spectexture]] nature/grass_00a_spec
 	[[$scale]] 1.5
 	[[$rotation]] 0.0
 
 	[[$basetexture2]] nature/sand_cracked001
 	[[$spectexture|$spectexture2]] nature/sand_cracked001_spec
 	[[$scale|$scale2]] 3.0
 	[[$rotation|$rotation2]] 0.0
 
 	[[$basetexture|$basetexture3]] nature/sand_path001
 	[[$spectexture|$spectexture3]] nature/sand_path001_spec
 	[[$scale|$scale3]] 3.0
 	[[$rotation|$rotation3]] 0.0
 
 	[[$basetexture|$basetexture4]] stone/stone_path007
 	[[$spectexture|$spectexture4]] stone/stone_path007_spec
 	[[$scale|$scale4]] 3.0
 	[[$rotation|$rotation4]] 55.0
